Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 315

Tongrui sat with Lingye and stayed with him for a long time until she was a little sleepy.

Lingye picked her up and walked toward the bedroom.

Tongrui woke up, then subconsciously embraced his neck. "Not working anymore?"

"It's getting late. Go to bed."

Tongrui was still thinking about taking Siqi here. "Will you go to the kindergarten to pick up Sweetheartafter work tomorrow?"

"Will you accompany me at night if I bring her here?"

Tongrui blushed. She patted his shoulder lightly. "Don't be jealous of your daughter."

Lingye did not answer, and Tongrui thought in a daze. Lingye may not take Siqi here.

...

The next night, Lingye came back.

Tongrui was drawing upstairs when she heard a childish voice downstairs.

"Mu! I'm here! Where are you?"

Tongrui was surprised. She left the watercolor and ran downstairs in a hurry. Soon, she saw Siqi with asmall school bag.

Siqi snorted. "You and Daddy are so cruel. You two don't even go to see me!"

Tongrui walked over with a smile. While listening to Siqi's complaints, Tongrui withdrew the school bagfrom her back, touched her face, and asked, "Is it cold?"

"No! Grandpa asked Auntie Lan to put on many clothes for me. I'm so hot!"

Turning on the heating at home, Tongrui took off Siqi's jacket and gave her a pair of cotton slippers.

Lingye also entered the house.

When Tongrui brought him the slippers, she could not help but ask, "Didn't you say that you wouldn'ttake Sweetheart here? Why did you change your mind today?"

Lingye glanced at her and teased, "If I don't pick her up, you won't be happy and lose your temper withme."

Tongrui blushed. "I won't do that."

However, she was delighted when Lingye took Siqi here, which could be considered a surprise.

Siqi lay on the sofa and touched her belly. "Mu, I'm hungry! Do you have anything to eat?"

Tongrui came over with some toast. "Wait a little longer for dinner. You can eat some toast first."

Siqi ate the tasteless toast. After a few mouthfuls, she put it away. Children always liked to eat sweet,sour, or flavorful food, so Siqi was not interested in toast.

Siqi took the TV remote control to look for cartoons. Lingye reminded her, "Fu Siqi, have you finishedthe homework?"

"I'll do it later after watching the cartoon."

"Do your homework before watching TV."

Siqi snorted. She put down the remote control and walked toward the table with her school bag, thenmuttered, "Even Grandpa allowed me to watch cartoons, but you didn't. It's too overbearing. The

teacher said children must grow up healthily. Daddy, you can't always oppress me. I won't grow taller ifyou backfire."

Hearing that, Tongrui could not help but laugh. "You know what's backfire?"

Siqi seemed to know a lot.

Siqi raised her chin proudly. "The teacher said I was smart."

Lingye habitually dampened her enthusiasm. "No matter how smart you are, if you don't work hard,you're useless. If you don't want to become a waste, you should do your homework now."

"Hmph!"

Siqi snorted. Because of Lingye's seriousness, she took out her homework book from her school bagand started to do her homework.

Lingye rolled his sleeves and went into the kitchen to help Tongrui.

Tongrui said, "You're too strict with Sweetheart. She's still young. Homework isn't that important."

"If she isn't used to it now, it's even more of a headache when she's in elementary school. Dad alwaysdotes on Sweetheart and makes her too naughty. She'll become arrogant if I don't be strict with her."

What Lingye said was true.

However, Tongrui's education was different from Lingye's.

Guangqing's education for Tongrui since childhood was relaxed. It was good to work hard to get goodgrades, but it did not matter if she was not good as long as she was happy.

However, Zhengyuan's education for Lingye must be strict, especially since Lingye was a boy.Zhengyuan would not spoil Lingye as he doted on Siqi.

While chopping vegetables, Tongrui asked, "Lingye, did you get beaten by Father because of yourstudies when you were young?"

"Before college, I spent very little time studying. I was beaten by Dad many times."

"Ah?" Tongrui was surprised. "I thought you were the kind of student with excellent grades."

"My grades are excellent, but I'm not a good student."

Listening to Lingye's undisguised arrogance, Tongrui asked, "You mean, you don't study all day, butyou can still rank among the best in every exam?"

Is he trying to express his high IQ?

"That's what I mean," Lingye replied calmly.

Tongrui pouted. "I didn't sleep well in the third year of high school to take the university entrance exam.It's hard to imagine how you academic masters study."

Lingye washed his hands and took the knife from her. He cut the vegetables while correcting hercalmly, "Not an academic master but the god of learning."

Tongrui was speechless. How can he brag about himself so shamelessly?

"You don't study, but you ask Sweetheart to have a good habit of learning. It's unfair."

Lingye answered, "The premise is that she can learn the knowledge just like me and remember it at aglance, but it should not be possible."

"Why? I think Sweetheart is smart."

"Yes, but the average child's IQ is the median of the parents' IQ."

Lingye suddenly gave her a meaningful look and said with certainty, "I believe you've loweredSweetheart's IQ."

Tongrui's mouth twitched.

Siqi ran over and said, "Mu, I'm thirsty! I want to drink juice!"

"I'll make it for you. Wait for a while."

Siqi pouted and asked, "Daddy, did you just say me stupid?"

"You're not stupid. Just a little stupider than me."

Siqi snorted. "Daddy, how do you prove I'm a little stupider than you?"

Lingye raised his eyebrows and said to Siqi seriously, "You never defeat me in games. I can do all thehomework you don't know. I know all the words you don't know."

Siqi and Tongrui were speechless.

Lingye was not only narcissistic but also extremely shameless!

"Daddy, you're so childish."

Lingye pretended to be serious. "Fu Siqi, come here! What did you say?"

Siqi did not move. She pouted and stared at him. "The teacher said that adults who are serious withchildren are very childish!"

Lingye was speechless.

How can I have such an eloquent daughter? She must have inherited Rui.
